Macy, Morris Scholarship

Morris Macy was a dear friend of College benefactor Richard Anisfield. At Morris’ death in 2013, members of the Anisfield and Vallario family made contributions to the Ramapo College Foundation to honor his memory.

Mr. Macy was a founding partner of Sax, Macy, Fromm & Co. P.C. (now Sax LLP). Soon after graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, he enlisted in the military. He attended officer candidate school and served as a commanding officer in the Pacific Theater during World War II. He was discharged from the Army Air Force with the rank of captain in 1946.

With his childhood friend, Sander Sax, Mr. Macy started Sax, Macy and Company in 1956, and a third partner, Egon Fromm, soon joined them. The company has grown into one of the leading accounting firms in New Jersey. Mr. Macy was a member of the Citizens Advisory Zoning Committee of Clifton and was treasurer and director of the Passaic Valley Citizens Planning Association. He also served as a member of the board of directors of the Faculty-Student Cooperative Association of Montclair State University.

A dedicated Zionist and leader of the Passaic-Clifton Jewish community, he served as general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal of Greater Clifton-Passaic, and president of the local Jewish Federation. He later became the first president of the Endowment Foundation of the North Jersey and Greater Clifton-Passaic Federations. He was a staunch supporter of Jewish Family Service.
